Playful! Collapse!

But Otto is immortal!

So now - Yuan Yan, you who are just one step behind, just die here!!!

"Tsk, these guys!"

Looking at the Ottos not far away, who were sprinting to the vicinity of the restraint barrier at the fastest speed, the eyes of the Herrscher of Consciousness suddenly turned cold.

"I don't know what you're planning to do, but right now—get away from me!"

"Let's go after that vixen over there. We can't let them get close to Yuan Yan!"

"I understand."

Following the Herrscher of Consciousness's orders, Yae Sakura rushed towards Otto's Soul Steel Body, which had arrived near the restraining barrier first, at the fastest speed.

However, when facing Otto, who had a body of soul steel, Yae Sakura, who was slashing the enemy with a katana, discovered with great embarrassment that the strength of her attack seemed to be insufficient.

Those who were near the restraining barrier were unable to exert their full strength because of the difficulty in using Honkai energy.

As a user of Honkai energy, Yae Sakura can use the spirit sword in her hand to cut off part of the opponent's body, but - this is the limit of what she can do.

On the other side, although the Herrscher of Knowledge far surpassed Yae Sakura in attack efficiency, the problem was that her strength was also weakened.

Among this group of Otto, some Otto accelerated their movements through the electromagnetic force of the [Beggar Version of Herrscher of Thunder], while others used the power of the [Youth Version of Herrscher of Wind] to make their bodies lighter through the wind.

After this group of Ottos arrived at the battlefield, the Herrscher of Knowledge took action and indeed knocked down many of them.

But now, it’s not the case that they dealt with a few Ottos. The key point is that if one Otto goes there, everything Yuan Yan has done will be in vain.

"Ah, I didn't expect there would be such a back-up plan."

Yuan Yan, who had almost exhausted all his energy at this time, supported his body with his right hand protected by the gauntlet and stood up shakily.

"But I'm not completely unable to move."

"is it?"

Watching his soul steel bodies getting closer and closer to the barrier, Otto couldn't help but sneer at Yuan Yan.

"But unfortunately, it seems I'm one step ahead of you."

"Even if Fu Hua and Yae Sakura can hold off some of the Ottos, now, as long as one of them comes to my side and takes away my core, he can continue to fight in my place as the Ruler of Constraint."

"And you—Yuan Yan, with this tattered body, what else can you do?"

"Look what you said."

Hearing Otto's confident words, Yuan Yan smiled warmly.

"I never thought Mr. Otto would be so forgetful."

"I thought you would combine my intelligence with your tactics before dealing with me, but now it seems that you have forgotten the most important thing."

Facing Otto, who seemed to have thought of something, Yuan Yan immediately continued to speak on his own.

"In Changkong City, I, Yuan Yan, was able to stop the collapse for two reasons."

"The first reason is that after I swallowed the Herrscher Core, I resisted the temptation of Honkai while using my special ability to repair my body. This turned the core from a poison that destroyed my body into a treasure that enhanced my strength."

"The second reason is that the seniors are awesome. They brought the Moonlight Throne to Changkong City and transformed all the Honkai energy condensed in me into other energies."

"And now..."

After transforming the armor on his right hand into magic crystal claws, Yuan Yan moved the claws on his right hand and slowly walked towards Otto, who looked horrified.

"The only one who can swallow the core is not only Otto Apokalis, but also Yuan Yan."

"Are you crazy!!!"

Looking at the man limping towards him, Otto suddenly spoke nervously.

"Given your current state, after swallowing the core, your personality will definitely be devoured by the Honkai Will immediately!"

"Oh, really? How will you know if you don't try?"

Looking at the other Otto who was about to rush into the barrier, and the scene behind him, Yuan Yan showed a relaxed expression.

"Besides, I've already said that my seniors are very powerful."

"Look, they have arrived at the battlefield now."

Listening to Yuan Yan's words, Otto, who was left with only half of his body, reluctantly turned his head to look at the place where Yuan Yan's gaze was pointing, and the expression on his face froze.

He really wanted to tell himself that Yuan Yan was just lying to mess with his mentality, just like before.

But - his visual system told him that this time, there was nothing wrong with what Yuan Yan said.

Behind Otto were the [Key of the Sky] Thousand Worlds One, the anti-entropy mecha Arahato, wearing the Moonlight Throne, and Walter, Siegfried, Bianca, Theresa...

The girl who used to follow Yuan Yan, and Su, the pioneer of the previous civilization, are also in this team?!

"We have an old saying in China: 'A righteous cause enjoys many supporters, while an unrighteous cause has few.'"

Seeing the despair gradually appearing in the stiff expression on Otto's face, Yuan Yan's tone suddenly became a little lighter.

"Some of these people were supposed to be your subordinates, while others would have become your helpers. Even the Moonlight Throne and the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle were supposed to become destiny in the future."

"As long as you fight the Honkai effectively, these talented individuals and the treasures left behind by previous civilizations will become forces within your control."

"Damn it, hurry up!!!"

He began to crawl with his arms towards Otto outside, who was restraining him. The expression on his face was extremely bad at this time.

No, don't panic.

If I could only reach that place, then—

"Oh, target found."

After arriving at the battlefield, Siegfried looked at the Ottos who had already started rushing towards the barrier, and said to Su beside him.

"Mr. Su, use the power of the Thousand Realms to throw us over."

"I don't know what Otto is going to do, but it's definitely not a good thing, so now, we just have to interrupt his actions."

"I see. Then--"

In an instant, everyone in the Anti-Entropy Team saw the figures of Walter, Siegfried, and Bianca, and they disappeared from their side.

"Eh? What about me?"

Seeing that she was still standing there, Theresa looked at Su with great annoyance.

"Mr. Su, why don't you send me over too!"

"Just to solve the current problem, relying on the strength of Mr. Siegfried, Miss Bianca, and Mr. Walter is enough. In addition..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Su's eyes showed helplessness.

"Ms. Theresa, I suggest you stay away for a while."

“…No, I’ll see to the end.”

After grabbing the Oath of Judas and throwing it out, Theresa jumped lightly and flew out directly on the Oath of Judas.

"I will use my own eyes to personally witness Grandpa's final moments!"

This is the only thing I can do for him.

"Wow, there are so many Ottos."

Looking at Otto, who was closest to the barrier, Siegfried did not hide the murderous intent he had suppressed for a long time, and burst it out in one breath.

As the man's aura reached its peak, Siegfried, who had already completed his transformation into a Honkai beast, drew out the two guns at his waist, put them together, and then transformed the two guns into a greatsword, throwing it directly at Otto, who was closest to the barrier.

When Siegfried threw out the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, everyone saw that the flames burning on the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire had begun to be gradually suppressed.

However, even if the power of fire in the core is disturbed by the power of restraint, the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, as the [Key of Destruction], still has extremely powerful destructive power.

With Siegfried's full strength, the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, who transformed into a greatsword mode, easily pierced Otto's body and nailed Otto, who was about to achieve his strategic goal, to the ground.

"Ha, that's cool."

Siegfried came directly to Otto, drew the Judgment of Heavenly Fire from his enemy, and looked at the other Ottos with murderous intent.

"Before, I had to consider the overall situation, but now——"

Otto, who was inside the barrier, became extremely desperate after watching Siegfried kill one of his soul steel bodies with a single sword.

In desperation, Otto completely gave up his plan to deal with Yuan Yan and began to spread the barrier towards Siegfried and others as quickly as possible.

However, Siegfried, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, had already filled the sword of the Holy Fire Judge with energy when he saw these Ottos.

Following Siegfried's action, a blazing flame shot up into the sky from the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, which had just been disturbed by the restraining barrier.

"Skyfire... unsheathed!"

Along with the man's battle cry filled with hatred and anger, flames of destruction burst out from the greatsword and rushed directly towards the Ottos.

Faced with Siegfried's full-strength attack that burned his life, the nearby Otto Soul Steel Bodies were unable to dodge Siegfried's sword and were directly defeated by him on the spot.

After Siegfried annihilated the nearby Soul Steel Bodies, the restraining barrier finally arrived and wrapped the bodies of Siegfried, Bianca, the Herrscher of Consciousness, and Yae Sakura.

“Tsk, this feeling…!”

Siegfried, whose body had been burned by the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire and was in great pain, was naturally the first to be knocked down by the restraining barrier after he had exhausted all his strength.

"Otto, you...!"

"My benefactor, I have tried my best."

Herrscher of Consciousness and Yae Sakura, who had been suppressed by the restraining barrier before, were naturally knocked down on the spot by this sudden attack.

"Dad! Fu Hua!"

Seeing her father and comrades falling to the ground, Bianca, holding the Black Abyss White Flower, summoned the golden armor without saying a word.

Looking at Otto who had been broken into two pieces, Bianca, despite the suppressive force from the restraining barrier, struggled to walk towards Yuan Yan and Otto.

"My dear daughter, that's it...!"

Seeing that Bianca chose to walk directly towards Otto, Siegfried shouted at Bianca.

"Leave us alone, we won't die anytime soon."

"Deal with Otto first and then save Yuan Yan!"

“Bianca…!”

Looking at the girl he had taught for a long time, now calmly walking towards him step by step, Otto recalled the day when they met for the first time.

On that day, Otto once told Kiana, who had become Bianca, not to sympathize with 'Medea'.

And now, the determination in the girl's eyes was telling Otto that she had taken to heart everything he had said at that time.

"Bishop Otto, this is the last time I will address you as such."

After saying this, Bianca clenched the Key of God in her hand, with complicated emotions in her heart.

She had to admit that during the time she lost her memory, Otto had been quite kind to her.

However, it is true that Otto was good to her, but it is also true that Otto killed her mother, betrayed his colleagues in the Sky Mandate, and chose to side with Honkai.

If she had not known the truth, she might still stand on Otto's side and become the sharpest blade in his hand.

But now that she knew what Otto had done, how could she just sit back and watch this guy continue to wreak havoc!

To this world, Otto Apokalis has undoubtedly become 'evil'.

So now...

——Whether as a warrior of the Kaslana clan or as a Valkyrie of destiny, I should use the lance in my hand to wipe out all evil!

"Ah, to interrupt these two touching farewells."

Because the restraining barrier enlarged the area and reduced the power, Yuan Yan, who was already struggling to move, took another step forward.

"After all, right now, on this stage—I am the protagonist!"

Yuan Yan finally arrived in front of Otto. After seeing Otto start to shrink the restraining barrier again, his face showed an expression of complete relaxation.

Otto, who had always hoped that the Soul Steel Bodies would complete his subsequent plans, saw in great despair a scene he did not want to see.

Theresa arrived at the battlefield a step late because of Su's teleportation. When she found that her comrades and niece were trapped in the restraint barrier, she used her ultimate move without saying a word, which would put her on the verge of death every time she used it.

"Divine Grace Barrier, open!"
